Kammerling Takes Swedish 100m Fly Mark Down Still Further; Swedish World Champs Team Named

By Lennart La Fleur

NORRKOPING, Sweden, July 1. THE final day of the Swedish Nationals were swum in another day of cold weather (59 degrees Fahrenheit), with no sun at all!

Still, Anna-Karin Kammerling lowered her national record in the 100m fly again – though only by 2- hundredths of a second. Her time: 58.74. Today however by swimming the first 50 meters about one second slower than yesterday, she demonstrated how strongly she could finish.

The 100 meters freestyle has been the event of surprises. Today the ladies' champion turned out to be Johanna Sjöberg, who has made a remarkable comeback after her knee surgery late last year. But most surprising was that Therese Alshammar missed the podium.

Nineteen swimmers, listed below, were nominated to the World Championships team. A few unexpected swimmers are found in the team. Maria Östling, breaststroker has made a succesful comeback and return to the national team. Gabriella Fagundez and Erik Andersson make their debut in a long course championship in the senior team.
